Kyoya Hashiba returns to his parents' home in Nara after getting laid off by the video game company SucceedSoft and reflects on his past ten years of life with regret while thinking about the works done by the prestigious circle called the Platinum Generation, whose members are about his age. He recalls his decision to attend a regular university instead of an arts college, and his time as an intern at SucceedSoft working under his boss Eiko Kawasegawa. Kyoya was a standout employee and was set to work with the Platinum Generation on an ambitious project, but one day the project was cancelled and the team that worked on it was laid off. Kyoya goes to sleep and after waking up he finds himself ten years in the past right after graduating from high school in the year 2006. This time, Kyoya decides to attend the arts college. After moving into the Share House Kitayama, he immediately falls asleep, and when he wakes up he finds Aki Shino sleeping next to him. Afterwards the other residents Nanako Kogure and Tsurayuki Rokuonji come by and everybody introduces themselves. The four head out to the welcoming ceremony where Professor Misaki Kano warns the students that the chances of having a career in the field they came to the college to pursue are very low and Kyoya meets up with his would-be boss Eiko. Two weeks later after getting to know his classmates better, Kyoya attends the mixer and learns more about Aki. After returning home from the mixer, Kyoya figures out that he is living with the people who would go on to be the members of the Platinum Generation. (Source: Wikipedia)
